Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩹ has the Unicode code point U+2A79. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2A79 to binary:
00101010 01111001. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10101001 10111001

Description
U+2A79 is a Unicode character, known as LESS-THAN WITH CIRCLE INSIDE. This symbol is typically used in digital text for representing an inequality involving fractions or decimals in mathematical expressions. It is particularly useful in various fields of mathematics and science where the comparison of fractions or decimals is required. In its design, this character features a less-than sign enclosed within a circle, which can be seen as both a visual and functional representation of the inequality concept. The inclusion of the circle adds an element of sophistication to the symbol, enhancing its readability in digital text. There aren't any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts associated with U+2A79, but it serves as a crucial component for accurate and clear mathematical communication.
